Synthesizer Vocoder

Waldorf's D-coder for PowerCore goes beyond
classic Vocoder concepts by providing an integrated synthesizer as
tone generator. This way no external carrier signal is required to
make the vocoding effect audible. D-coder is based on DSP
technology used in the popular Waldorf synthesizers, now made
accessible to PowerCore users from inside any VST or Audio Units
compatible sequencer.

D-coder has everything you need to create sophisticated
vocoding effects, in one easy to use interface! The included
polyphonic synthesizer, featuring that classic Waldorf sound,
eliminates the need for external carriers. Need to fatten up the
effect? Use the integrated Chorus unit. A 3-band EQ section rounds
out the processing section, allowing you to emphasize critical
speech frequencies, going way beyond what is possible with most
other vocoders.

D-coder is fully VST 2.0 compatible, and can be played from
a MIDI track or in real-time from a keyboard. D-coder is so
flexible that the synthesizer section can be played independently
of the vocoder section! If you are using a VST 2.0 compatible
sequencer, all LFOs can follow MIDI sync, allowing you to
independently modulate the synthesizer and the vocoder in musically
relevant values such as "8 bars".

With the included Carrier plug-in, you can also vocode audio
without using the synthesizer section! Combine different audio
tracks for unbelievable results.
